December 1 in many parts of the world comes with plenty of cold weather and very little daylight. Some people even have to start the month of December by trudging off to work or school.
Perhaps the thing that is positive about the beginning of December is the fact that it is the month of Christmas. As a result of the new month, people have been cracking open their Advent calendar and it is motivating when it comes to waking up that morning.
Some parents are complaining, however, because they didn’t exactly get a chocolatey start to the month of December. They said that when their children opened up the Advent calendar, it was completely bare.
A number of mothers and fathers are voicing their frustration on Twitter. Obviously, they are saying that the children were ‘disappointed’ after opening the calendar and seeing nothing inside.
Some even went so far as to pull the plastic trays out of the calendar and found that there was absolutely no chocolate inside.

LADbible was provided with a statement from Cadbury. They said that anyone with those issues should talk to the Cadbury customer care team.
The statement said: “We’re sorry to hear about the issues some of our fans are facing with chocolate missing from inside the Cadbury Dairy Milk Advent Calendar, the Cadbury Heroes Advent Calendar, and Cadbury Dairy Milk Santa’s Workshop Advent Calendar, and would like to reassure people that quality is of paramount importance to us.
“We encourage any customers who have received an Advent calendar that is not up to standard to speak to our customer care team as soon as possible.”
It may not be able to make up for December 1, but at least it may be a step in the right direction.
